I was pumped when we drafted this kid and I was one of the few that wanted Golden Tate really bad......lol If you look Sanders does compare to Holmes in HT and WT.......His combine stats really compared with Holmes.....I really think Emmanual Sanders can do the same things in this offense as Holmes did eventually.....How soon is the question?......

If you look in the past rookie WR's can contribute even as rookies......Mike Wallace is one example in the past ten years.....No rookie WR will ever come close to a Randy Moss type rookie season but I do think rookie WR's can be contributors as rookies with the way offenses are in college these days.....Sanders caught a ton of balls in college and he seems to have the work ethic to improve his rout running/reading coverage.....I wouldn't be shocked if Sanders catches 40 balls and has 5-6 TD's this year....

bruce arians says hes way ahead of where wallace was as far as route running and understadning the playbook.....but as it turns out bruce arians is the authority on nothing so it doesnt matter

In 2-3 years you will notice how similar Sanders will be to Holmes on the field.....I really think they compare as players and the Steelers knew this when they traded Holmes.......They scouted Sanders highly and I think that showed when they drafted Sanders in the 3rd round.....I still think a 5th round pick was a joke for Holmes but if Sanders does pan out it won't matter......

I watched Sanders all 3 days of camp last week. Call it IRONY that Sanders is wearing #88 at camp .... Because he's about as smooth and graceful as somebody else who wore the number a few decades ago that is now in Canton.
